Soulseek is good. It's a peer-to-peer sharing service, so you can just choose who to download from rather than waiting in a queue. You can find things in FLAC if you want it, or in various lossy qualities.

Were you watching 4K77 and 4K83 with Digital Noise Reduction? The movies are distributed in two versions, one with film grain and the other with DNR.

You can tell because you'll see the alligator later, but you'll see the crocodile in a while

AFAIK, the port on your router is irrelevant as the VPN bypasses it. I'm not familiar with ProtonVPN, but with PIA you can get a forwarded port in the VPN app and specify that port in your P2P application. I use that method for Soulseek, but my qBittorrent works correctly in both directions without doing anything special.

This paper looks like it's essentially run by the US weapons industry. It's a subsidiary of GovExec who helps military contractors sell to the government. This means they have an interest in drumming up armed conflict and you'd have to take everything they print with this in mind.

A group called Cofacts allows users to forward dubious messages to a chatbot. Human editors check the messages, enter them into a database, and get back to the user with a verdict.

“This year, because gen AI is just so mailable [sic], they just fine-tuned a language module together that can clarify such disinformation…adding back a context and things like that. So we're no longer outnumbered,” she said.

I'd be highly skeptical of how well this would work. A language model is not a truth machine, it's just a program that tries to write like a human. There are countless examples of ChatGPT and similar programs saying blatantly false things and making up citations out of thin air.

I could understand requiring an account with Jitsi itself, but needing that account to be Facebook, Google, or MS seems to be at odds with the type of person who would use an encrypted video chat in the first place.

Facebook is both spyware and evil but it seems strange to call it "corrupt". It wasn't corrupted, this is what the zuck wanted.

Post your credit card number and DLN while you're at it.

So a mod didn't like a comment you made which was interpreted as encouraging anti-homeless hate. Instead of just moving on you decided to make this about "tankies" despite no one saying anything about Marxist ideology, China, or anything related. I think you're just looking to pick a fight with us because we're dirty pinko commies or something.
